Chen Yun looked at the knife on the table, twitched the corner of his mouth, and quickly raised his hand.
"My subordinate Chen Zilong has met Tie Shou Bei. I heard a lot of legends about Tie Shou Bei before I came here. I was really curious, so I lied and went to the military camp to have a look."
Chen Zilong, Tiemo and Aqige didn't react for a while, "Who are you? I've never heard of it!"
Now it was Chen Zilong's turn to be a little surprised. He smiled awkwardly and said: "The official is the new magistrate of Zhangbei County."
"The county magistrate? Oh, it's you." Tie Mo touched his chin and looked at Chen Zilong carefully. After a while, he said angrily, "Even if you are the county magistrate Chen, trespassing on military intelligence farming land without permission is still a death penalty. Besides,
Tie Mou didn't know whether you were real or fake, so he dragged you out and chopped you up."
"Oh, Tie Shouwei, Chen is really the new magistrate of Zhangbei County. I have the public diploma in my arms. Can you..."
"Bah, these things can be faked!"
Chen Zilong's expression immediately changed. He was no longer as calm as before. He waved his hands and said with a bitter smile: "Tie Shouwei, I'm here to vote for you sincerely. You can't do this to Chen."
"Aren't you here to be the county magistrate?"
"No, Chen asked to come to Zhangbei on his own initiative. It doesn't really matter whether he is the county magistrate or not. What is important is that Chen wants to do a career under Tie Shouwei!"
Tie Mo immediately became happy. Chen Zilong was really thick-skinned and very eloquent.
In fact, Tie Mo was not interested in the so-called county magistrate. He said he was a county magistrate, but he was actually an informant sent by the imperial court. He had thought before that if Chen Zilong was honest, he would be allowed to be the county magistrate. If he was not sensible, he could only send him away.
he's gone.
Now that we meet him, I find that this guy Chen Zilong is really weird.
Perhaps because his life was threatened, or perhaps because he really wanted to find a way out, Chen Zilong talked about the past with a sad and angry face.
Chen Zilong's family background is rich, and the Chen family is one of the richest families in Licheng. Chen Zilong himself is also considered to be very successful, and became famous at a young age. He was awarded the second-class Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, and he has the same friendship with Sun Chuanting.
Chen Zilong and Sun Chuanting were in the same department and had a good relationship, but their official paths were very different. At first, Chen Zilong was selected as a common scholar and stayed in the Hanlin Academy, but after the death of Emperor Tianqi, everything changed.
Chen Zilong was a genuine member of the Qi Party. As a member of the Eunuch Party, Qi Party officials, like Jin Party officials, were purged. Chen Zilong was not spared. He was demoted from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Industry, and finally became an idle official.
Stay in Beijing and listen.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Chen Zilong has made plans to resign and go home.
They say they are staying in Beijing to listen, but in fact there is no chance at all. It is not safe to stay in the capital all the time. Maybe one day the people above will remember that there is such a remnant of the eunuch party around them, and they can use some tricks to get rid of it.
Enough to drink a pot.
At this time, news about Zhang Bei reached the capital.
Zhangbei County magistrate, this is definitely a hot potato. Zhangbei is north of the Great Wall and very close to the Mongolian ministries, so no matter what, Zhangbei is actually within the sphere of influence of the Mongols.
He went to Zhangbei County to be the magistrate. If one of the Mongolians got unhappy one day and went to Zhangbei to hunt grass in the valley, the first person who would be unlucky would be the Zhangbei County Magistrate.
The imperial court intended to declare sovereignty over Zhang Bei, but no one below was willing to go. In this case, Chen Zilong stepped forward.
To others, Zhangbei Magistrate County is a trap, but to Chen Zilong, it is an opportunity. The risks in Zhangbei are great, but the opportunities are also great. If there is an opportunity, Chen Zilong can also show off his talents.
, it is better than resigning and going home.
Chen Zilong took the initiative to apply for the job, and the ministers in the cabinet were naturally overjoyed and recommended Chen Zilong to Zhu Youjian without even thinking about it.
In this way, the former second-class Jinshi became a county magistrate after living in the capital for many years.
When others became officials, they climbed higher and higher, but Chen Zilong became more and more miserable. But Chen Zilong didn't care, as long as he could show his talents, what's wrong with being a county magistrate?
When he came to Zhangbei, Chen Zilong found that this place was completely different from what he imagined. Here, you can hear Tie Mo's name every moment, and only in Zhangbei can you feel the influence of Tie Mo.
.
Tie Mo is a legendary person. At least, Chen Zilong thinks that this person is very unusual. Maybe Zhang Bei really came to the right place.
Especially after seeing the cavalry in the racecourse, my judgment became even more firm.
Tie Mo has ambition, no problem. If he didn't have ambition, Chen Zilong wouldn't bother to waste time on this person.
...
After listening to Chen Zilong's narration, Tie Mo thought for a moment and said with a faint smile: "You have passed the test, but Tie Mo is not accepted by everyone."
"Don't worry, Tie Shoubei. I will do my best to take care of Zhang Bei's affairs. But...please see if you can find a place for me to work first..."
"Ahem" Tie Mo covered his mouth and coughed twice in embarrassment. Ordinarily Chen Zilong should go to the county government office, but the county government office is now Aqige's territory, and its name is also the Moon Palace.
Asking Aqige to move out? I guess this girl could backhand with a knife.
"Well, aren't there a few empty houses next to the original county government office? Find someone to take care of them, and you can work there!"
"..." Chen Zilong raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly. Can I say no?
This county magistrate doesn't even have a county government office.
...
After Chen Zilong left, Aqige narrowed her beautiful eyes and asked in a depressed tone: "Really do you want to keep this person here? I think he has a smooth tongue and a belly full of tricks."
"People like to take the initiative to vote, so we can't fight him out, right? Besides, if he is not used, the court will send other people. Whether to send a magistrate or not is related to the court's face. Let him be a magistrate for a period first, and see
After all, Zhang Bei is our territory anyway, why are we afraid that he will cause trouble?"
Tie Mo's idea is very simple, give Chen Zilong a chance and give himself a chance.
In short, if this person can use it, use it, and if he can't, then use it.
...
Recently, good news has been coming.
The firearms workshop is on the right track, and new breakthroughs have been made in shield improvement.
A blacksmith came up with a good idea to install an adjustable tripod on the shield. After fixing the tripod, it can save a lot of manpower.
Of course, there is good news and there is bad news.
At the end of August, the fighting between various Mongolian tribes intensified. In order to unify Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan began to march westward.
Bayan Khan of the Sunit tribe has also been a little dishonest recently and has begun to deploy troops northwest of Zhangbei. For a while, Zhangbei is no longer as safe as before.
At this time, Naiman's tribe was in danger of being attacked from both sides by Bayan Khan and Lin Dan Khan.
Zhang Beicheng's safety is related to Tie Mo's vital interests, so the affairs of Naiman Department have to be taken care of.
